Download or read book Classification of Simple C algebras Inductive Limits of Matrix Algebras over Trees written by Liangqing Li and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, it is shown that the simple unital C*-algebras arising as inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of matrix algebras over [italic capital]C([italic capital]X[subscript italic]i), where [italic capital]X[subscript italic]i are arbitrary variable trees, are classified by K-theoretical and tracial data. This result generalizes the result of George Elliott of the case of [italic capital]X[subscript italic]i = [0, 1]. The added generality is useful in the classification of more general inductive limit C*-algebras.

This book was released on 1998-07-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of operator algebras, which grew out of von Neumann's work in the 1920s and 30s on modelling quantum mechanics, has in recent years experienced tremendous growth and vitality, with significant applications in other areas both within mathematics and in other fields. For this reason, and because of the existence of a strong Canadian school in the subject, the topic was a natural candidate for an emphasis year at The Fields Institute. This volume is the second selection of papers that arose from the seminars and workshops of a year-long program, Operator Algebras and Applications, that took place at The Fields Institute. Topics covered include the classification of amenable C*-algebras, lifting theorems for completely positive maps, and automorphisms of von Neumann algebras of type III.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of operator algebras, which grew out of von Neumann's work in the 1920s and the 1930s on modelling quantum mechanics, has in recent years experienced tremendous growth and vitality. This growth has resulted in significant applications in other areas - both within and outside mathematics. The field was a natural candidate for a 1994-1995 program year in Operator Algebras and Applications held at The Fields Institute for Research in the Mathematical Sciences. This volume contains a selection of papers that arose from the seminars and workshops of the program. Topics covered include the classification of amenable C*-algebras, the Baum-Connes conjecture, E[subscript 0] semigroups, subfactors, E-theory, quasicrystals, and the solution to a long-standing problem in operator theory: Can almost commuting self-adjoint matrices be approximated by commuting self-adjoint matrices?
Download or read book An Introduction to the Classification of Amenable C algebras written by Huaxin Lin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory and applications of C?-algebras are related to fields ranging from operator theory, group representations and quantum mechanics, to non-commutative geometry and dynamical systems. By Gelfand transformation, the theory of C?-algebras is also regarded as non-commutative topology. About a decade ago, George A. Elliott initiated the program of classification of C?-algebras (up to isomorphism) by their K-theoretical data. It started with the classification of AT-algebras with real rank zero. Since then great efforts have been made to classify amenable C?-algebras, a class of C?-algebras that arises most naturally. For example, a large class of simple amenable C?-algebras is discovered to be classifiable. The application of these results to dynamical systems has been established.This book introduces the recent development of the theory of the classification of amenable C?-algebras ? the first such attempt. The first three chapters present the basics of the theory of C?-algebras which are particularly important to the theory of the classification of amenable C?-algebras. Chapter 4 otters the classification of the so-called AT-algebras of real rank zero. The first four chapters are self-contained, and can serve as a text for a graduate course on C?-algebras. The last two chapters contain more advanced material. In particular, they deal with the classification theorem for simple AH-algebras with real rank zero, the work of Elliott and Gong. The book contains many new proofs and some original results related to the classification of amenable C?-algebras. Besides being as an introduction to the theory of the classification of amenable C?-algebras, it is a comprehensive reference for those more familiar with the subject.

Download or read book Tilting in Abelian Categories and Quasitilted Algebras written by Dieter Happel and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We generalize tilting with respect to a tilting module of projective dimension at most one for an Artin algebra to tilting with respect to a torsion pair in an Abelian category. Our construction is motivated by the connection between tilting and derived categories. We develop a general theory for such tilting, and are led to a generalization of tilting algebras which we call quasitilted algebras. This class also contains the canonical algebras, and we show that the quasitilted algebras are characterized by having global dimension at most two and each indecomposable module having projective dimension at most one or injective dimension at most one. We also give other characterizations of quasitilted algebras, and give methods for constructing such algebras.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We prove that any variety of relation algebras which contains an algebra with infinitely many elements below the identity, or which contains the full group relation algebra on some infinite group (or on arbitrarily large finite groups), must have an undecidable equational theory. Then we construct an embedding of the lattice of all subsets of the natural numbers into the lattice of varieties of relation algebras such that the variety correlated with a set [italic capital]X of natural numbers has a decidable equational theory if and only if [italic capital]X is a decidable (i.e., recursive) set. Finally, we construct an example of an infinite, finitely generated, simple, representable relation algebra that has a decidable equational theory.'' -- Abstract.
Download or read book Extended Affine Lie Algebras and Their Root Systems written by Bruce Normansell Allison and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is about extended affine Lie algebras (EALA's) and their root systems. EALA's were introduced by Høegh-Krohn and Torresani under the name irreducible quasi-simple Lie algebras. The major objective is to develop enough theory to provide a firm foundation for further study of EALA's. The first chapter of the paper is devoted to establishing some basic structure theory. It includes a proof of the fact that, as conjectured by Kac, the invariant symmetric bilinear form on an EALA can be scaled so that its restriction to the real span of the root system is positive semi-definite. The second chapter studies extended affine root systems (EARS) which are an axiomatized version of the root systems arising from EALA's. The concept of a semilattice is used to give a complete description of EARS. In the final chapter, a number of new examples of extended affine Lie algebras are given. The concluding appendix contains an axiomatic characterization of the nonisotropic roots in an EARS in a more general context than the one used in the rest of the paper.
Download or read book Two Classes of Riemannian Manifolds Whose Geodesic Flows Are Integrable written by Kazuyoshi Kiyohara and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two classes of manifolds whose geodesic flows are integrable are defined, and their global structures are investigated. They are called Liouville manifolds and Kahler-Liouville manifolds respectively. In each case, the author finds several invariants with which they are partly classified. The classification indicates, in particular, that these classes contain many new examples of manifolds with integrable geodesic flow.
Download or read book Operators of Class C 0 with Spectra in Multiply Connected Regions written by Adele Zucchi and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present paper the author studies the analogue of the class [italic capital]C0 within a class of operators having a functional calculus based on the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions in a finitely connected domain with an analytic boundary. The latter class consists of the operators having the closure of the domain as a spectral set and having no normal direct summands with spectra contained in the boundary of the domain. (If the domain is the disk the preceding class reduces to the class of completely nonunitary contractions.) The basic properties known for the case of the disk, including the model theory, are established. The extension, even the mere construction of the functional calculus, is not routine, in part because it is unknown whether the analogue of Sz.-Nagy's dilation theorem is true in the author's multiply connected setting.
Download or read book Symmetry Breaking for Compact Lie Groups written by Mike Field and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work comprises a general study of symmetry breaking for compact Lie groups in the context of equivariant bifurcation theory. We begin by extending the theory developed by Field and Richardson for absolutely irreducible representations of finite groups to general irreducible representations of compact Lie groups, while allowing for branches of relative equilibria and phenomena such as the Hopf bifurcation. We also present a general theory of determinacy for irreducible Lie group actions. We show that branching patterns for generic equivariant bifurcation problems defined on irreducible representations persist under perturbations by sufficiently high order non-equivariant terms.
Download or read book Compact Connected Lie Transformation Groups on Spheres with Low Cohomogeneity I written by Eldar Straume and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cohomogeneity of a transformation group ([italic capitals]G, X) is, by definition, the dimension of its orbit space, [italic]c = dim [italic capitals]X, G. By enlarging this simple numerical invariant, but suitably restricted, one gradually increases the complexity of orbit structures of transformation groups. This is a natural program for classical space forms, which traditionally constitute the first canonical family of testing spaces, due to their unique combination of topological simplicity and abundance in varieties of compact differentiable transformation groups.

Download or read book Generalized Symplectic Geometries and the Index of Families of Elliptic Problems written by Liviu I. Nicolaescu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, an index theorem is proved for arbitrary families of elliptic boundary value problems for Dirac operators and a surgery formula for the index of a family of Dirac operators on a closed manifold. Also obtained is a very general result on the cobordism invariance of the index of a family. All results are established by first symplectically rephrasing the problems and then using a generalized symplectic reduction technique. This provides a unified approach to all possible parameter spaces and all possible symmetries of a Dirac operator (eigh symmetries in the real case and two in the complex case). This text will also be of interest to those working in geometry and topology.
